Stocking Sumo
In the end, let’s all have a thank-you party with smiles.
How about a guaranteed-laughter stocking sumo match? Let’s pick one person from each table to face off.
Partings can feel lonely, but let’s make happy memories with lots of laughs.
Pencil Holder Game
Prepare several pencils, and the person who can stand up the most pencils wins.
It’s a bit difficult for children to play on their own, so it might be nice to form teams of parents and children, or teachers and children, to make a final memorable activity.
Arunashi quiz
Let me introduce a brain-training “Aru/Nashi” quiz.
In this quiz, words are divided into two groups—“Aru” (has) and “Nashi” (doesn’t have)—and you find the common trait or feature in each group.
Suppose the Aru group has “su” (vinegar) and “niwa” (garden), while the Nashi group has “mirin” (sweet rice wine) and “ie” (house).
The common feature in the Aru group is that if you add the syllable “na,” they become different valid words.
It’s a bit tricky, but that makes it all the more satisfying when you figure it out.
Try it out while giving hints along the way!
trick question
How about a slightly mischievous trick quiz for the thank-you party? Everyone will rack their brains, debating this and that to find an answer—but if the real answer comes from a completely different angle, I bet the boos from the crowd will be huge! In a way, the quizmaster might end up having the most fun of all!
Hug everyone
At the thank-you party for your nursery or kindergarten, how about sharing a hug with the teachers who took such good care of the children to reaffirm your bond? It will surely become an unforgettable memory for both the children and the teachers.
Also, by engaging in a bit of physical closeness, you can ease the tension around graduation and help the children relax.
Saying goodbye to the teachers may feel very sad, but by giving a warm hug and reaffirming your connection, you might find it easier to move on to the next step.
Not only the children and teachers, but parents as well are sure to be deeply moved!
